\n\u201cWe are proud to welcome the Viking Vela<\/i> to our growing, award-winning fleet. With Fincantieri as our partner, we believe we have built the world\u2019s most elegant fleet of small ocean ships,\u201d said Torstein Hagen, Chairman and CEO of Viking. \u201cWe thank Ivana Elice for being godmother of the Viking Vela. <\/i>In her role at Fincantieri, she has cared for our ocean ships during their construction just as a godmother would, and we are very appreciative of her contributions as a member of the extended Viking family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nIn keeping with the naming tradition, during the ceremony, Ivana was presented with a historic Viking broad axe by Ann Ziff, the esteemed philanthropist, Chairman of the Metropolitan Opera and godmother of the Viking Saturn<\/i><\/a>\u00ae<\/i>. The same axe was previously used in the naming of the Viking Saturn<\/i> in June 2023. After the axe presentation, Ivana pressed a button that allowed a bottle of Norwegian aquavit to break on the ship\u2019s hull. Guests also enjoyed performances by Sissel Kyrkjeb\u00f8, one of the world\u2019s leading crossover sopranos and godmother of the Viking Jupiter<\/i><\/a>\u00ae,<\/i> and acclaimed Italian singer Alessandro Safina, who paid tribute to the cultures of both Norway and Italy in song.<\/p>\n

Ivana Elice, Godmother of the Viking Vela<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\nIvana Elice, Vice President and Project Manager of the Fincantieri Cruise Business Unit, has enjoyed a distinguished career in naval and mechanical engineering, helping support the expansion of the Viking ocean fleet for the past 12 years. In 2012, Ms. Elice was appointed by Fincantieri to oversee the build of Viking\u2019s first ocean ship, the Viking Star<\/i><\/a>\u00ae, and she has continued to serve as valuable support for the expansion of Viking\u2019s fleet of sister ships. She joined Fincantieri in 1985 after graduating from the University of Genoa with a master\u2019s degree in naval architecture and mechanical engineering. Her initial role as a noise and vibration specialist within the company\u2019s Naval Vessel Division involved assisting with the design of surface ships and submarines. Since 1993, she has held several positions within Fincantieri\u2019s Merchant Division in the areas of hydrodynamics, ship construction, production engineering and more.<\/p>\n

The Viking Vela<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe Viking Vela<\/i> is the newest ship in Viking\u2019s award-winning ocean fleet of sister ships. Classified as a small ship, as are all Viking ocean ships, the Viking Vela <\/i>has a gross tonnage of 54,300 tons, with 499 staterooms that can host 998 guests; the ships feature all veranda staterooms, elegant Scandinavian design, light-filled public spaces and abundant al fresco dining options. The Viking Vela<\/i> will spend her inaugural season sailing itineraries during the \u201cquiet season\u201d in the Mediterranean before continuing to Northern Europe.<\/p>\n

\nViking is working on a project for a partial hybrid propulsion system for future ocean ships based on liquid hydrogen and fuel cells, which could allow the company to operate at zero-emission in the Norwegian Fjords and other sensitive environments. The Viking Vela<\/i> has been designed with the future in mind, ensuring she can be retrofitted to incorporate these new technologies as they become available.<\/p>\n

\nThe naming of the Viking Vela<\/i> follows a string of recent accolades for the company. Viking was rated #1 for Oceans, #1 for Rivers and #1 for Expeditions by Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler<\/i> in the 2024 Readers\u2019 Choice Awards for the second consecutive year. This achievement marked the first time a travel company won these three categories in back-to-back years. Viking was also named Best Luxury Line, Best Line for Couples and Best Line in the Mediterranean in U.S. News & World Report\u2019s<\/i> 2025 Best Cruise Lines ranking for the fourth consecutive year. Viking\u2019s ocean ships have been rated and \u201cRecommended\u201d as part of the Forbes Travel Guide 2024 Star Awards, an annual independent evaluation for luxury travel brands. Additionally, Viking received seven awards at the 2023 Cruise Critic Editors\u2019 Picks Awards\u2014more than any other line\u2014across the luxury, river and expedition categories.<\/p>\n
